How does /co/ feel about Sponge Out Of Water? I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised when I watched it. Nothing grand or anything, but it reminded me of old Spongebob in a lot of ways and I was glad to see that it was mostly 2D animation.
It was good up til the live action segments.
But Mad Max Underwater was an entertaining enough concept, and all the weird dimensional fucking about that happens afterwords is surreal enough to keep the audience's attention.

The problem with the movie is that it lacked a strong narrative thrust like the last one did.
Individual gags were phenomenal though.
Why didn't Spongebob and company become these heroes?

A solid throwback to the original style of humor, even if not all the jokes landed. Fun to watch with other fans of classic Spongebob.

What is this, a Quickster for ants?

You know, make-out reef?
It's amazing how alright the movie was considering.
>/co/ said for years that one day there would be a shitty 3D spongebob movie just like the Smurfs

The time travel scenes were the worst offender of this. That stuff went on for a good half hour and pretty amounted to absolutely nothing in terms of moving the plot forward. Have Spongebob and Plankton get their torn page from the magic book from their time travel shenanigans instead of it landing on top of Sandy's dome. That would've instantly solved that problem.
That's kind of the main issue with the movie overall. There's no real plot rather than it just being a series of random events tied together. I like the concept of Spongebob and Plankton teaming up but that doesn't go anywhere beyond the pointless time travel scene. Post-apocalyptic Bikini Bottom was cool but then it quickly turned back into normal Bikini Bottom until the sacrifice scene.
Hopefully the next movie ends up being better. There will likely be another one at some point because this one did very well in the box office from what I understand and kids loved it.
The movie should have been called Sponge Out ofTroubledWater

I hated the first one, I loved this one.
It was way better than it had any right to be. I initially watched it before going to see The Force Awakens in theaters. Of the two, I enjoyed it more.
The plot isn't as strong as the first one, but I'd say it's actually funnier, which isn't a bad trade off.

Why'd you hate the first one?
I thought it was awful because I thought the entire movie would be cgi and it was like 10 minutes of cgi and some weird stretched out episode before it. It made me wish it was more like tiny to on adventures how I spent my summer vacation
